I agree with rntim49. My own experience has been that I graduated from nursing school in May of 2009. Soon after taking the nclex I landed a per diem position as a blood bank nurse. Believe me, it borders on the worse of the worse. But, you know ...

Hello Mrbojangles255, Welcome to the club. I truly believe most if not all nursing schools are like that. The one I went to was like a piece of 1960 that actually survived and was alive and well in 2006,07,08. It was disgusting to say the least. ...

Hello Smiley, Thank you for your response. You are correct about applying across the country. I did apply for a position in Arizona (although it was not a typical RN position in the hospital, instead it was as a Blood Bamk RN -blood drives) and, al...
